June 17, 2008: Lakers lose Game 6 to the Boston Celtics.

June 17, 2009: Laker Victory Parade.

My most recent addiction.

All of the local filipino musicians get on this thing and broadcast throughout the day. Their "shows" can be anything: live performances, open practices, random jam sessions, or just screwing around & chatting with the viewers. It's such an awesome way to get personal with indie artists and discover new music.

One of my favorite things about this is when they freestyle with whatever words the viewers type in the chatroom. Check out the video below, where Jeremy "Passion" Mondongo does a freestyle about food and finishes with a roll call. (You'll see my screenname in the chat)

Another cool thing is you can have two people co-host during a broadcast. Check this one out with Passion & Nessa Ramos (and pay attention to 2:07, haha):

Original: Chillen with Nessa

This co-hosting thing makes blogtv a LOT of fun. All of these local filipino artists are good friends with each other and take turns co-hosting each other's shows. Someone will start broadcasting in the afternoon, do it for a couple hours and then they'll hit up the next artist. For the past few nights they've been taking turns broadcasting til 4 in the morning. Sooooo chill!

After watching the first episode of Californication, I was hooked.

This is about a guy who is traveling Europe by train and meets a girl on his last day. After an interlude in the lounge car together he talks her into spending the rest of the night walking Vienna with him before his plane the next day. The rest of the movie is just about them talking as they travel through Vienna. Sounds ridiculously boring right?

Yep, Before Sunrise sounds like another stereotypical chick flick. But since this Pete gave this a glowing review, I figured I'd check it out for myself.

The movie did not disappoint.

The style of the movie was done in a way that was simple, minimalist, and forces you to focus on one thing -- the dialogue. And that's a really good thing because the stuff they talk about is so timeless yet so refreshing. I love the dialogue so much, I've watched the movie four times already. And every time I do it, I learn something new.

Instant favorite. And the sequel is great too.

A couple weeks ago I posted a video of Kobe Bryant's MVP Award press conference. At the conference, fellow teammate, Luke Walton, jokingly asks Kobe:

Luke Walton: Since you said that you couldn't have won [the MVP] award without your teammates, you gonna be getting your teammates any sort of gifts?

Kobe laughs and replies, "...You know I will. You know I will."

Earlier this week the Lakers had a team dinner, which Kobe used as the opportune time to surprise his 14 teammates with this:

A Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Chronograph. One for each teammate, engraved with their name and year.

$9,000 each.

omg: :coold:

At the press conference, fellow teammate, Luke Walton, breaks up the awkward silence with a question:

:rofl:

Niiiiiiiiice.

Finally got a hold of the DVD from Blockbuster. And man, I gotta say...

And it has the original voice of Optimus Prime!!! Fucking awesome.

This was a total bitch and a half to get, but I finally got one!! I've been reading about people losing weight by playing on the Wii, so I figured, "why not?" Wii Tennis is a lot of fun and you can even play doubles tennis with yourself!

Any of you guys have a Wii?
